Ladies Captain Chris Norcliffe combined her weekend of competition with a Charity Event for Breast Cancer Research, asking everyone to wear something pink, which in the sunshine resulted in a sea of pink all around the golf course. Those who declined, forgot, (or who simply did not read the many notices on display) were asked to pay a fine towards the Charity. A raffle and ‘guess the number of chocolates’ game boosted the donation to Breast Cancer Research to an amazing £428! Well done one and all!

The weather certainly played its part in the weekend’s proceedings, Saturday started bright sunny but turned cold with squally showers, but Sunday saw the heaviest most prolonged period of rain we’ve had for weeks, which resulted in only one four ball completing the course during the afternoon session. The weather together with the ‘evil’ pin positions (selected by the Ladies Captain) kept the scoring relatively low.

Five Junior members played in the competition and all five figured amongst the ‘Winners’ one – Joe Elliott achieved a score of 38points, which was the best individual score of the whole competition!
